Big win for Thomas Laybourn and Kamilla Rytter Juhl, they beat Xie Zhongbo/Zhang Yawen in three sets in the second round! Danish mixed doubles pairs seem to all be on big form...
England MD players have aexcellent performance in this open. Now there are 3 pairs of England in the quarters.
Lin Dan and Xia Xuanze in the semis, it looks like we might get a remake/revenge (?) of Denmark Open final... Japanese men seem to be on good form currently too...
It's surprised for PALYAMA Dicky to beat NG Wei while he lost the first match with the poor score 2-15. Good for the Dutchman!
Also surprised at ARCHER Simon/BLAIR Robert lost to japan temporary pairs SATO Shoji/SASAKI Sho(15:10/11:15/6:15), maybe they are too tired.
that would be good... but what's happened to chen hong? i remember seeing him in the head to head draw line up.. and what's up with the german open website? i can't seem to load it.
well, they are not 'temporary' pair, strictly speaking, they were playing at major international competitions as single players mainly, though. (they were playing MD with other Japanese players at small international competitions, by the way)
The site is slow some times. And I was wondering the same thing too.. I thought I saw both Chen Hong and Chen Yu in the draw??
The same goes for Sony Dwi Kuncoro and Alven/Luluk. They cant be knocked out before the quarter-finals but I don't see them
They now have livescores on Peter Steffensen / Lena Frier against Bergström / Persson. As far as I know Steffensen / Frier was beaten yesterday against Carsten Mogensen / Rikke Olsen. Does anybody know what happens? Johansen www.badminton-nyt.dk
This also puzzled me!!! yesterday, the score show Carsten/Rikke win the match, but marked "ret." in "Carsten/Rikke ".
On the resultpage they have corrected it to Mogensen / Olsen, but it is still wrong on the livescore page. Johansen www.badminton-nyt.dk
once again Lin Dan enjoy a walkover....... tomorrow's final will be Lin Dan vs Xuanze again..... hahaha who will win this time??? too bad tv not broadcasting the match........ hiaz
Another walkover for Lin Dan...wow..he is lucky..or he jinx all his opponents? Hope Xuanze will prevail in the finals tomoro..Xuanze jia you!@@
Both Lin Din and Xie Xingfang won their semi-final matches. Look like the Golden Couple shines again in Germany.
